That is a great looking razor!

 

Thank you. It's a very good shaver as well. At least when I do my part.

 

Weber DLC razor
Viking's Sword blade
VDH/TGN frankenbrush (silvertip)
CO Bigelow SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Skin Bracer A/S w/added menthol

Mighty fine shave, the Weber is a fantastic razor for me. Always a great shave regardless blade choice. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Stahley head, Windrose handle,Polsilver blade and for an added twist iced Clubman VIBR. Awesome! Enjoy your day everyone!

 

Menthol Monday to start the week......

Proraso cream face lathered w/Duke 2 Best
'56 Red Tip Super Speed paired w/7 o'clock Sharp Edge blade
Alum rinse followed by Nivea Cooling ASB finishing w/Floid Vigoroso

2-passes for an excellent shave!! Have a great week!!

 

Menthol Monday - British Edition
Everyday could easily be a menthol day with this Cryogen pre shave. Truefitt & Hill is really amazing cream. The lather is so thick and slick, making this shave effortless. The Premier made three easy passes. I did WTG-XTG-WTG on my right cheek, and WTG-XTG-XTG on my left, with very similar results... DFS, not quite BBS, and only one tiny weeper on my neck. My face feels great. I didn't really need any aftershave, but I used Van Yulay Shuyak Island anyway, to extend the cold and the cologne scent works well with 1805. I think I'm going to need to find other T&H 1805 products at some point. I also now know how good T&H creams are, I would not hesitate to get others.

Unexpected blessing of time
Today's shave
Hot water wash with nivea mens face wash and a washcloth
Semogue 620
BOMBED Soap Commander Vision
KB EXTRA #67 5/8 full hollow spike
ICED Aqua Velva ice blue
Menthol Monday, i used bombed vision. I had a few extra minutes, so I called up the kb extra (thanks @mrchick ). Three passes, very nice shave. Finished with iced Aqua Velva ice blue.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Lmk if you find the a/s that doesnt break the bank. T&H lived up to the hype for me as well. I would use it more if I could find more a/s's that match it. You should try ultimate comfort.

Have a great day!​

 

Is Ultimate Comfort even better? I'll have to take a look.
I was thinking that PAA Aqua D might pair well.

Pre: Proraso green preshave cream
Razor: Dovo 6/8

Post: witch hazel, Proraso green ASB

Great shave this morning...darn near perfect. I am finding the Proraso green preshave cream and hot facecloth barber-style shave prep makes such a difference.

Cooper Monobilt
Wilkinson Sword(5)
Stirling 24mm Synthetic
Dr Jon's Hydra

In an effort to sync up with Neal for the blade trial of the Dorco ST300 I decided to delay the first shave with that blade until Wednesday. So I took my 4 time used Wilkinson Sword classic the dropped it into my Cooper MonoBilt to squeeze one more shave out of it. The Sword was still plenty sharp but overall it had harshness to it that was a little unpleasant. The Dr Jon's Hydra smells so good you might be tempted to taste it. If you like citrus you will love this soap. It is strongly scented as well, the fragrance enveloped the whole bathroom in its fresh citrus scent. The Stirling 24mm has become my top choice when reaching for a brush. It has the fabulous soft Plisson style tips but the knot is set in such a way that it provides a little more much needed backbone. In the end after 3 passes I was rewarded with a BBS shave and only had one spot on my neck that was a little warm with the Alum. Have a great day my friends!

No newspaper, I have too much to do, with Dr. Appointment and new meds to research, sorry.

A really good two pass shave, WTG/XTG and ATG/XTG, with the flex head, I had no problem, just a very close, smooth shave. a very fine DFS +. So I`m satisfied. Best wishes to all.
